What I found hardest about using Git the first time was…
The hardest part about learning git for the first time was trying to
understand branching. I kept hearing that it was git’s killer-feature, but I
had never figured out what I needed to use it for. Multiple timelines are
challenging enough to keep track of in science-fiction!
Seeing the branches visually by using git log --graph or gitk made
branching easier to understand.
